I had a very, very interesting conversation today with the people from Port-A-Tree. I found out exactly what we had and didn't have with our basic system at Big River. I found out some things I didn't know our system would do and some more things it is capable of.
For instance there is an additional program that would run around $1,500 that would keep track of all of our qualifying times and rank them from fastest to slowest. No more of this three and four and five time trials for "special people." The program would also place all the people in that class in a bracket and keep the bracket updated. Thus eliminating screw ups in paper work!!!
I was also told that our current system was not one recommended for our particular type of track!!!!! The lady I spoke with said the infrared sensors for mud and dirt tracks should be the type we use instead of our current system that uses the relectors (which is actually listed for asphalt and snowmobiles.... LOL)
She said we were one of only three or four tracks across the United States that used that system!
What I would like to see us do is have some sort of fund-raising dinner/dance or whatever just to raise enough money to pay for the system upgrade. Either I or Karen or Tim would personally make sure the money is spent on the upgrade. They got a new computer for the tower already, so if we put the two together we could help line out a tremendous time for everyone in 2006! What do you all think?
